Six Nations Police investigate tobacco operation
A tobacco manufacturing facility was the subject of a police investigation on Six Nations of the Grand River on Wednesday.
The facility was operated by 'a non-Indigenous criminal network' who don't live on the territory, Six Nations Police said in a Facebook post.
'The profits were in no way invested in or utilized by the community,' it said.
The OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau assisted Six Nations Police Service with the execution of the warrant, the post said.
An earlier Facebook post from the police service said a section of Chiefswood Road was closed between 3rd and 4th Lines while they conducted 'a police operation' at 1342 Chiefswood Rd. It's unclear if the closure was related to the tobacco manufacturing facility investigation.
The post did not say if arrests were made.

Police have not said if the two are connected.

Bull spotted loose on streets of Birmingham
A bull has been seen on the loose on the streets of Birmingham. West Midlands Police said officers were made aware of it in the road near New Bond Street, in the Digbeth area, at about 09:30 BST on Friday. The force added that it was working with Birmingham City Council to ensure the animal was taken to a safe location. It is so far unclear where the bull came from. A video shared on a Birmingham Facebook group, shows the animal running in the road and on to a path, with a police officer near by. Posting online, people called for the bull to be rescued and protected. Birmingham has been associated with bulls ever since the practice of bull-baiting arose in the 16th Century, with Ozzy the bull a mascot at the city's 2022 Commonwealth Games and the bullring shopping centre an iconic landmark.
